Burnout – When Silence Speaks
Modern work culture often rewards long hours and constant availability. But while some employees work 60+ hours per week, no one notices they’re on the verge of burnout. HR and management typically only realize the issue when it’s already serious.
Mental health isn’t always visible. Overload, loss of focus, and lack of motivation show up in subtle ways – more late-night emails, fewer breaks, endless meetings. AI can detect these patterns and flag early signs of strain.
Microsoft Viva Insights – Empowering, Not Controlling
Viva Insights, part of Microsoft 365, collects workplace data at the team level (not individual) and offers suggestions for improving wellbeing.
- Overtime monitoring: The system detects if teams consistently work beyond regular hours.
- Focus time recommendations: Employees can block off dedicated time to work without interruptions.
- Wellbeing alerts: Notifications when someone hasn’t taken time off or is attending back-to-back meetings.
- Leadership dashboards: Aggregated data for HR and leadership to identify burnout trends.
Real Situation – Real Support
At a law firm in Budapest, employees regularly worked 10–12 hour days. Leadership saw it as a sign of dedication – until Viva Insights revealed that 78% of the team worked overtime three or more days per week without breaks. They implemented focus time blocks, meeting-free mornings, and updated time-off policies. Within two months, employee satisfaction improved.
